% This is a contributed file to the LaTeX system.
% -------------------------------------------------
% This is a LaTeX package to modify \cite and \thebibliography for author-year
%    systems of bibliographic citation; will also work with
%    numerical systems, allowing simplified style changes for them too.
% Installation:
%    LaTeX this file: creates docstrip installation file natbib.ins
%                         AND the documentation
%    (La)TeX natbib.ins: creates package file natbib.sty
%                        and optionally documentation driver natbib.ltx
%    (natbib.ins may be edited as needed)
% Docstrip options available:
%        package - to produce a package .sty file
%        notes   - to produce a reference sheet for natbib usage
%        driver  - to produce a driver file to print the documentation
%        all     - (with package) to include all author-year systems
%                   else individually with:
%        apalike, newapa, chicago, harvard, authordate, astron

The \thestyle\ package is a reimplementation of the \LaTeX\ |\cite| command,
to work with both author--year and numerical citations. It is compatible with
the standard bibliographic style files, such as \texttt{plain.bst}, as well as
with those for \texttt{harvard}, \texttt{apalike}, \texttt{chicago},
\texttt{astron}, \texttt{authordate}, and of course \thestyle.

% \iffalse
%</notes>
% \fi
% In contrast to the packages listed above, the \thestyle{} package supports not
% only the various author--year bibliography styles, but also those for standard
% numerical citations. In fact, it can also produce numerical citations even
% with an author--year bibliographic style, something that permits easy
% switching between the two citation modes. To this end, replacements for the
% standard \LaTeX\ \texttt{.bst} files are also provided.
%
% It is possible to define the citation \emph{style} (type of brackets and
% punctuation between citations) and even to associate it with the name of
% the bibliographic style so that it is automatically activated. Citation
% styles can be defined for local \texttt{.bst} files by means of a
% configuration file \thestyle\texttt{.cfg}.
%
% It is compatible with the packages: \texttt{babel}, \texttt{index}, \texttt{citeref},
% \texttt{showkeys}, \texttt{chapterbib}, \texttt{hyperref}, \texttt{koma} and
% with the classes \texttt{amsbook} and \texttt{amsart}.
% It can also emulate the sorting and compressing functions of the \texttt{cite} package
% as well as the multiple citation (and merging) functions of Thorsten Ohl's \texttt{mcite} package.
% (The \thestyle{} package, however, is not compatible with either \texttt{cite} or \texttt{mcite} themselves.)
%
% Note that the \texttt{citeref} package (for adding citation page numbers in the
% bibliography) must be loaded after \thestyle. (The \texttt{hyperref} package with
% the option \texttt{pagebackref} also provides this feature, but with hyperlinks.)
%
% The \thestyle\ package therefore acts as a single, flexible interface for
% most of the available bibliographic styles.

%
% \section{Introduction}
%
% The \thestyle{} package is an extension to \LaTeX\ to allow author--year
% citations along with numerical citations. Standard \LaTeX\ permits only
% numerical, whereas all extensions for author--year prior to the release of
% \thestyle{} in 1993 were limited to just that. Since they normally added new
% commands (as \thestyle{} does  too), documents written with them could only be
% used with numerical citations after extensive editing.
%
% The \thestyle{} package has changed that; switching from author--year to
% numerical citations is a matter of an option, with no alterations to the
% source text. It has now become part of the standard \LaTeX\ installations,
% and is supported (demanded) by many journals. It is the citation package of
% choice by most of the \LaTeX\ community, mainly because of its flexibility
% and configurability.
%
% Like all packages, it is loaded in the document preamble, with possible options,
% with, e.g.\
% \begin{quote}
%   |\usepackage[sectionbib,square]{natbib}|
% \end{quote}
% The option \texttt{sectionbib} specifies that, when used with the package
% \texttt{chapterbib}, the bibliography will appear as a section at the end of
% each chapter (Section~\ref{sec:chapbib}). The \texttt{square} option says
% that references are to be enclosed in square bracket rather than round
% parentheses. See Section~\ref{sec:opts} for a complete list of options.
%
% The document text itself begins with, e.g.
% \begin{quote}
% \begin{verbatim}
% \begin{document}
% \bibliographystyle{plainnat}
% \end{verbatim}
% \end{quote}
% which specifies \texttt{plainnat} to be the bibliography style used by the
% \btx\ program that generates the actual bibliography from a database. The
% style \texttt{plainnat} is the \thestyle{} version of the standard \texttt{plain}
% (numerical only) style. See Section~\ref{sec:plainnat} for other styles, or
% search the installation for \texttt{.bst} files.
%
% The |\bibliographystyle| command can be given anywhere in the document, but
% it makes sense to add it at the start where it can be easily identified (and
% modified).
%
% To make a citation in the text, use
% \begin{quote}
%   |\citep{jon90}| for a \emph{parenthetical} citation (Jones et al.,
%   1990),\\
%   |\citet{jon90}| for a \emph{textual} one, as Jones et al. (1990).
% \end{quote}
% Both |\citep| and |\citet| are defined by \thestyle{} and are thus not
% standard. The standard \LaTeX\ command |\cite| should be avoided, because it
% behaves like |\citet| for author--year citations, but like |\citep| for
% numerical ones. There are many other commands for other special effects
% (Section~\ref{sec:excite}).
%
% In the above examples, \texttt{jon90} is the identifying key for the
% reference, as found in the \btx\ database, or in the \texttt{thebibliography}
% environment, Section~\ref{sec:bibitem}:
% \begin{quote}
% \begin{verbatim}
% \begin{thebibliography}{1}
%   \bibitem[Jones et al.(1990)]{jon90}
%   . . . . .
% \end{thebibliography}
% \end{verbatim}
% \end{quote}
% This environment prints the actual bibliography, and the |\bibitem| commands
% link the entries to the citations via the key, here \texttt{jon90}. The key
% may be perfectly arbitrary as long as it is unique. The text in square
% brackets contains the pieces of citation information, the authors \texttt{Jones et
% al.} and the year \texttt{1990}. Note that these are two pieces of text that
% may be packaged together in several different ways, depending on the citation
% command. In fact, if numerical citations are selected, they are (almost)
% ignored and only the sequence number is used as citation.
%
% The \texttt{thebibliography} environment can be made by hand, but it is
% better and safer to let \btx\ do it. For this, one needs the
% |\bibliographystyle| command already mentioned, and near the end of the
% document:
% \begin{quote}
% \begin{verbatim}
% \bibliography{mybib}
% \end{document}
% \end{verbatim}
% \end{quote}
% Here \texttt{mybib} is the root name of the \btx\ database file
% (\texttt{mybib.bib}) containing the data for the references needed in the
% document.
%
% The rest of this document presents all the gorey details about everything
% possible with \thestyle.

% \section{Using this Package}\label{sec:usage}
%
% \iffalse
%<*notes>
\head{Loading}
Load with |\usepackage[|\emph{options}|]{|\thestyle|}|. See list of
\emph{options} at the end.

%</notes>
% \fi
% In this paper, I distinguish between the citation \emph{mode} (author--year
% or numerical) and citation \emph{style} (the type of punctuation used for
% citations). The citation style is something that is independent of the
% bibliography style and is not programmed in the \texttt{.bst} files.
%
% \subsection{New Bibliography Styles}\label{sec:plainnat}
%
% \iffalse
%<*notes>
\head{Replacement bibliography styles}
% \fi
I provide three new \texttt{.bst} files to replace the standard \LaTeX\
numerical ones:
\begin{quote}\ttfamily
 plainnat.bst \qquad abbrvnat.bst \qquad unsrtnat.bst
\end{quote}
% \iffalse
%</notes>
% \fi
% These produce reference lists in the same style as the corresponding
% standard \texttt{.bst} file, but work with \thestyle{}. The
% advantage is that they can be used in both numerical and author--year
% mode.
%
% These \texttt{.bst} files are not meant to be exhaustive by any means. Other
% style files conforming to the \thestyle{} format exist, or may be generated
% with my \texttt{custom-bib} (also known as \texttt{makebst}) program.
%
%
% \subsection{The Syntax of the \texttt{thebibliography}}
% \label{sec:bibitem}
%
% The information on the cited author names and year are given as part of the
% |\bibitem| commands within the \texttt{thebibliography} environment. The
% \thestyle{} package expects that information to be in a certain format, which
% is maintained by the above bibliography styles. (It will also be able to
% interpret formats used by some earlier packages, such as \texttt{harvard} and
% \texttt{chicago}.) If one wishes to bypass \btx, one must make up the
% \texttt{thebibliography} oneself, such that it conforms to \thestyle.
%
% This syntax looks as follows:
% \begin{quote}
% |\bibitem[Jones et al.(1990)]{jon90}...|\\[1ex]
% or alternatively\\[1ex]
% |\bibitem[Jones et al.(1990)Jones, Baker, |\\
% \hspace*{2em}|and Williams]{jon90}...|
% \end{quote}
% The text in square brackets contains the pieces of citation texts, the short
% author list, \texttt{Jones et al.}, the year \texttt{1990}, and the optional long
% author list \texttt{Jones, Baker and Williams}. If the long list is missing,
% the short list will be used instead. The parentheses around the year are
% \emph{not} part of the text, but merely delimit the year from the author
% lists. Round parentheses must always be used, even if square brackets are
% wanted for the citations. And there must be no space before or after the year
% parentheses, else it will become part of the author list.
%
% \medskip\noindent
% \textbf{Note:} if any single |\bibitem| entry does not conform to a syntax that
% \thestyle{} understands, it switches stubbornly to numerical mode, since it
% otherwise has no idea what the author and year texts could be.
%
% \subsection{Basic Citation Commands}
%
% The \thestyle{} package can be used with bibliography styles that were
% intended for other, older packages, like \texttt{harvard}. However,
% the commands described in this and the next sections are defined by
% \thestyle{} and must be used even with those other bibliography styles.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\citet}

% \iffalse
%<*notes>
\head{Basic commands}
% \fi
The \thestyle\ package has two basic citation commands, |\citet| and
|\citep| for \emph{textual} and \emph{parenthetical} citations, respectively.
There also exist the starred versions |\citet*| and |\citep*| that print
the full author list, and not just the abbreviated one.
All of these may take one or two optional arguments to add some text before
and after the citation.
\begin{quote}
\begin{tabular}{l@{\quad$\Rightarrow$\quad}l}
  |\citet{jon90}| & Jones et al. (1990)\\
  |\citet[chap.~2]{jon90}| & Jones et al. (1990, chap.~2)\\[0.5ex]
  |\citep{jon90}| & (Jones et al., 1990)\\
  |\citep[chap.~2]{jon90}| & (Jones et al., 1990, chap.~2)\\
  |\citep[see][]{jon90}| & (see Jones et al., 1990)\\
  |\citep[see][chap.~2]{jon90}| & (see Jones et al., 1990, chap.~2)\\[0.5ex]
  |\citet*{jon90}| & Jones, Baker, and Williams (1990)\\
  |\citep*{jon90}| & (Jones, Baker, and Williams, 1990)
\end{tabular}
\end{quote}
% \iffalse
%</notes>
% \fi
% The starred versions can only list the full authors if the \texttt{.bst}
% file supports this feature; otherwise, the abbreviated list is printed.
%
% In standard \LaTeX, the |\cite| command can only take a single optional
% text for a note after the citation; here, a single optional text is a
% post-note, while two are the pre- and post-notes. To have only a pre-note, it
% is necessary to provide an empty post-note text, as shown above.
%
% More complex mixtures of text and citations can be generated with the
% all-purpose |\citetext| command in Section~\ref{sec:excite}.
%
% \iffalse
%<*notes>
\head{Multiple citations}
% \fi
Multiple citations may be made by including more than one
citation key in the |\cite| command argument.
% \textsl{If adjacent citations
% have the same author designation but different years, then the author
% names are not reprinted.}
\begin{quote}
\begin{tabular}{l@{\quad$\Rightarrow$\quad}l}
  |\citet{jon90,jam91}| & Jones et al. (1990); James et al. (1991)\\
  |\citep{jon90,jam91}| & (Jones et al., 1990; James et al. 1991)\\
  |\citep{jon90,jon91}| & (Jones et al., 1990, 1991)\\
  |\citep{jon90a,jon90b}| & (Jones et al., 1990a,b)
\end{tabular}
\end{quote}

% \iffalse
\head{Numerical mode}
% \fi
These examples are for author--year citation mode. In numerical mode, the
results are different.
\begin{quote}
\begin{tabular}{l@{\quad$\Rightarrow$\quad}l}

  |\citet[chap.~2]{jon90}| & Jones et al. [21, chap.~2]\\[0.5ex]
  |\citep{jon90}| & [21]\\
  |\citep[chap.~2]{jon90}| & [21, chap.~2]\\
  |\citep[see][]{jon90}| & [see 21]\\
  |\citep[see][chap.~2]{jon90}| & [see 21, chap.~2]\\[0.5ex]

% The authors can only be listed if the \texttt{.bst} file supports
% author--year citations. The standard \texttt{.bst} files, such as
% \texttt{plain.bst} are numerical only and transfer no author--year
% information to \LaTeX. In this case, |\citet| prints ``\textbf{(author?)}
% [21].''
%
% \DescribeMacro{\cite}
% In the original versions of \thestyle, the traditional |\cite| command was
% used for both textual and parenthetical citations. The presence of an empty
% optional text in square brackets signalled parenthetical. This syntax has been
% retained for compatibility, but is no longer encouraged.
%
% This means that |\cite| (without notes) is the same as |\citet| in
% author--year mode, whereas in numerical mode, it is the same as |\citep|.
% The starred version, as well as the one or two optional notes, may also be
% used.
%
% It is possible to have multiple citations sorted into the same sequence as
% they appear in the list of references, regardless of their order as
% arguments to the |\cite| commands. The option \texttt{sort} is required for
% this feature. See Section~\ref{sec:sort}.
%
% Some publishers require that the first citation of any given reference be
% given with the full author list, but that all subsequent ones with the
% abbreviated list. Include the option \texttt{longnamesfirst} to enable this for
% \thestyle. See Section~\ref{sec:long}.
%
% \subsection{Extended Citation Commands}

% \DescribeMacro{\citealp}
% \DescribeMacro{\citetext}
% \DescribeMacro{\citenum}
% \iffalse
%<*notes>
\head{Suppressed parentheses}
% \fi
As an alternative form of citation, |\citealt| is the same as |\citet| but
\emph{without parentheses}. Similarly, |\citealp| is |\citep| without
parentheses.

The |\citenum| command prints the citation number, without parentheses, even
in author--year mode, and without raising it in superscript mode. This is
intended to be able to refer to citation numbers without superscripting them.

% Multiple references, notes, and the starred variants
% also exist for these, except for |\citenum|.
%
\begin{quote}
\begin{tabular}{l@{\quad$\Rightarrow$\quad}l}
  |\citealt{jon90}| & Jones et al.\ 1990\\
  |\citealt*{jon90}| & Jones, Baker, and Williams 1990\\
  |\citealp{jon90}| & Jones et al., 1990\\
  |\citealp*{jon90}| & Jones, Baker, and Williams, 1990\\
  |\citealp{jon90,jam91}| & Jones et al., 1990; James et al., 1991\\
  |\citealp[pg.~32]{jon90}| & Jones et al., 1990, pg.~32\\
  |\citenum{jon90}| & 11\\
  |\citetext{priv.\ comm.}| & (priv.\ comm.)
\end{tabular}
\end{quote}
The |\citetext| command
allows arbitrary text to be placed in the current citation parentheses.
This may be used in combination with |\citealp|.
% For example,
% \begin{verbatim}
% \citetext{see \citealp{jon90}, or even better \citealp{jam91}}
% \end{verbatim}
% to produce (see Jones et al., 1990, or even better James et al., 1991).

In author--year schemes, it is sometimes desirable to be able to refer to
the authors without the year, or vice versa. This is provided with the
extra commands
\begin{quote}
\begin{tabular}{l@{\quad$\Rightarrow$\quad}l}
  |\citeauthor{jon90}| & Jones et al.\\
  |\citeauthor*{jon90}| & Jones, Baker, and Williams\\
  |\citeyear{jon90}|   & 1990\\
  |\citeyearpar{jon90}| & (1990)
\end{tabular}
\end{quote}
% \iffalse
%</notes>
% \fi
% There also exists a command |\citefullauthor| which is equivalent to
% |\citeauthor*|.
%
% If the full author information is missing, then |\citeauthor*| is
% the same as |\citeauthor|, printing only the abbreviated list.
% This also applies to the starred versions of |\citet| and |\citep|.
%
% If the author or year information is missing (as is the case with the
% standard \LaTeX{} \texttt{.bst} files), these commands issue a warning.
%
% \medskip\noindent
% \textbf{Note:}
% these commands may also be used with numerical
% citations, provided an author--year \texttt{.bst} file is being employed.
%
% \medskip\noindent
% \textbf{Note:} all |\cite..| commands have the same
% syntax, allowing multiple citations and up to two notes (there are, however,
% no starred |\citeyear| or |\citenum| variants). It does not really make much sense to add
% notes to |\citeyear| and |\citeauthor|, especially with multiple citations;
% however, this can be done, there will be no error message, but the results
% are sometimes strange. For example, in numerical mode, the notes are fully
% ignored, while in author--year mode, only the post-note is accepted.
% Multiple citations in |\citet| are also not recommended (nor are they in my
% opinion meaningful), but if they are used with notes, the pre-note will
% appear before each year, and the post-note only after the last year. These
% are admittedly bugs, but the effort to remove them is not justified by the
% questionable usefulness of these features.
%
% In summary, notes are only intended for |\citep| but they may also be used
% with |\citet| in author--year mode, with single citations. In any other
% situation, the results are unpredictable.

\head{Forcing upper cased names}
% \fi
If the first author's name contains a \textsl{von} part, such as ``della
Robbia'', then |\citet{dRob98}| produces ``della Robbia (1998)'', even at the
beginning of a sentence. One can force the first letter to be in upper case
with the command |\Citet| instead. Other upper case commands also exist.
\begin{quote}
\begin{tabular}{rl@{\quad$\Rightarrow$\quad}l}
  when & |\citet{dRob98}| & della Robbia (1998) \\
  then & |\Citet{dRob98}| & Della Robbia (1998) \\
     &   |\Citep{dRob98}| & (Della Robbia, 1998) \\
     &   |\Citealt{dRob98}| & Della Robbia 1998 \\
     &   |\Citealp{dRob98}| & Della Robbia, 1998 \\
     &   |\Citeauthor{dRob98}| & Della Robbia
\end{tabular}
\end{quote}
These commands also exist in starred versions for full author names.

% \medskip\noindent
% \textbf{Note:} the coding for the upper casing commands is tricky and likely
% buggy. It operates on the names that are stored in the |\bibitem| entry, and
% works even if old style font commands are used; however, \LaTeXe\ commands will
% cause it to crash. Thus\\
% \begin{tabular}[t]{ll}
%   |\bibitem[{\it della Robbia}(1998)]{dRob98}| & is okay, but \\
%   |\bibitem[\textit{della Robbia}(1998)]{dRob98}| & crashes.

Sometimes one wants to refer to a reference with a special designation,
rather than by the authors, i.e. as Paper~I, Paper~II. Such aliases can be
defined and used, textual and/or parenthetical with:
\begin{quote}
\begin{tabular}{lcl}
  |\defcitealias{jon90}{Paper~I}|\\
  |\citetalias{jon90}| & $\Rightarrow$ & Paper~I\\
  |\citepalias{jon90}| & $\Rightarrow$ & (Paper~I)
\end{tabular}
\end{quote}
These citation commands function much like |\citet| and |\citep|: they may
take multiple keys in the argument, may contain notes, and are marked as
hyperlinks.
% \iffalse
%</notes>
% \fi
%
% A warning is issued if the alias is used before it is defined, or if an alias
% is redefined for a given citation. No warning is issued if an alias is
% defined for a citation key that does not exist; the warning comes when it is
% used!
%
% See Section~\ref{sec:yearless} for an alternative means of citing with
% a code name.
%
% \subsection{Authorless and Yearless References}\label{sec:yearless}
% What does one do about references that do not have authors? This has long
% bothered me but I do have a suggestion. Standard \btx\ styles make use of a
% \texttt{KEY} field in the entries to be used for alphabetizing when the
% authors or editors are missing. The author--year styles go even further and
% insert the \texttt{KEY} field in place of the authors. One can imagine giving
% a code designation for the work at this point. For example,
% \begin{quote}
% \begin{verbatim}
% @MANUAL{handbk98,
%   title = {Assembling Computers},
%   year = 1998,
%   organization = {MacroHard Inc.},
%   key = "MH-MAN"
% }
% \end{verbatim}
% \end{quote}
% With \texttt{plain}, the key text \texttt{MH-MAN} is used only to order the
% reference, but with \texttt{plainnat} and other author--year styles, it is
% used in place of the authors. One can then refer to it as
% |\citeauthor{handbk98}| to get MH-MAN or as |\citetext{\citeauthor{handbk98}}|
% for (MH-MAN), a parenthetical citation.
%
% This can be greatly simplified if
% the bibliography style leaves the date blank in the |\bibitem|
% entry, as
% \begin{quote}
% |\bibitem[MH-MAN()]{handbk98}|
% \end{quote}
% for then \thestyle\ suppresses the date, preceding punctuation, and the
% braces for |\citet|. This means that |\citet| and |\citep| behave
% automatically like the two examples above.
% The date still may appear in the text of the reference.
%
% The \thestyle\ bibliography styles have been modified accordingly to omit
% the date from the |\bibitem| entry when missing authors and/or editors
% are replaced by key text.
%
% Similarly, if the year is missing, it will be left blank in the |\bibitem|
% entry; thus citing such a work will only produce the authors' names.
%
% \medskip\noindent
% \textbf{Note:} there are many other possibilities with this feature. One can
% even produce citations like those of the \texttt{alpha} bibliography style,
% by placing the citation code in place of the authors in the |\bibitem| entry
% and leaving the year blank. A second code (or maybe even the authors
% themselves) could be placed where the full author list normally appears, to
% be printed with the starred version of the |\cite| commands. For example,
% \begin{quote}
% |\bibitem[MH-MAN()MacroHard Inc.]{handbk98}|
% \end{quote}

% \subsection{Extra Features in the \texttt{plainnat} Family}\label{sec:url}
%
% The special \texttt{.bst} files for \thestyle\ mentioned in
% Section~\ref{sec:plainnat} have a number of extra fields compared to the
% original files: \\
% \begin{tabular}{lp{10.5cm}}
% \texttt{ISBN} & for the ISBN number in books,\\
% \texttt{ISSN} & for the ISSN number in periodicals,\\
% \texttt{URL} & for the Internet address of online documents,\\
% \texttt{DOI} & the \emph{Digital Object Identifier} now being used by many
%         journals as a more robust alternative to URL,\\
% \texttt{EID} & \emph{electronic ID}, a substitute for page numbers for online journals
%         that also appear in print; also known as the \emph{sequence number}
%         within the paper volume.
% \end{tabular}\\
%
% Both the DOI and URL tend to be very long, causing ugly line breaks or
% sticking out into the margin. This can be avoided by loading the \texttt{url}
% package by Donald Arseneau, which allows text to be broken at punctuation
% marks without a hyphen. This package is automatically detected by \thestyle{}
% and appropriate commands redefined. URLs are printed in typewriter font, DOI
% in roman. Without the \texttt{url} package, these numbers are never broken.
%
% As pointed out in Section~\ref{sec:yearless}, the \texttt{KEY} field is
% treated differently by \texttt{plainnat} than in \texttt{plain}. Whereas the
% latter uses this field only to alphabetize entries without authors,
% \texttt{plainnat} actually inserts it in place of the author, both in the
% reference text and in the citation label (|\bibitem| entries). Furthermore,
% the year is left empty in |\bibitem| so that |\citep| prints only the
% ``author'' text, which is now the \texttt{KEY}. This should be some code
% designation for the work.
%
% \subsection{Selecting Citation Punctuation}\label{sec:bibpunct}
%
% \DescribeMacro{\setcitestyle}
% The above examples have been printed with the default citation style.
% It is possible to change this, as well as to select numerical or
% author--year mode, by means of the |\setcitestyle| command, which takes as argument
% a comma-separated list of keywords. (This command is new to version~8.)
% \iffalse
%<*notes>
\head{Selecting citation style and punctuation}
Use the command |\setcitestyle| with a list of comma-separated
keywords (without spaces) as argument.
% \fi
\begin{itemize}
\item
  Citation mode: |authoryear| or |numbers| or |super|
%  (corresponds to fourth argument of |\bibpunct|).
  %^^A \ifNAT@numbers \ifNAT@super
\item
  Braces: |round| or |square| or |open={|\emph{char}|},close={|\emph{char}|}|
%  (corresponds to first and second arguments of |\bibpunct|).
  %^^A \NAT@open \NAT@close
\item
  Between citations: |semicolon| or |comma| or |citesep={|\emph{char}|}|
%  (corresponds to third argument of |\bibpunct|).
  %^^A \NAT@sep
\item
  Between author and year: |aysep={|\emph{char}|}|
%  (corresponds to fifth argument of |\bibpunct|).
  %^^A \NAT@aysep
\item
  Between years with common author: |yysep={|\emph{char}|}|
%  (corresponds to sixth argument of |\bibpunct|).
  %^^A \NAT@yrsep
\item
  Text before post-note: |notesep={|\emph{text}|}|
%  (corresponds to optional argument of |\bibpunct|).
  %^^A \NAT@cmt
\end{itemize}
Defaults are |authoryear|, |round|, |comma|, |aysep={;}|, |yysep={,}|,
|notesep={, }|

Example~1, |\setcitestyle{square,aysep={},yysep={;}}| changes the author--year
output of
\begin{quote}
  |\citep{jon90,jon91,jam92}|
\end{quote}
into [Jones et al. 1990; 1991, James et al. 1992].

Example~2, |\setcitestyle{notesep={; },round,aysep={},yysep={;}}| changes the output of
\begin{quote}
  |\citep[and references therein]{jon90}|
\end{quote}
into (Jones et al. 1990; and references therein).

% \medskip\noindent
% \textbf{Note}:
% \begin{itemize}
%   \item parameters not specified remain unchanged;
%   \item the order of the keywords is unimportant;
%   \item the punctuation between author and year applies only to author--year
%     citations, not numerical;
%   \item the |yysep| punctuation comes between years when multiple citations
%     have the same, non-repeated authors; a space is always inserted
%     as well; if the years too are same, the citation is printed as `2007a,b',
%     without a space; to include a space, add it with |yysep={,~}|;
%   \item for numerical citations with common authors, e.g,
%     |\citet{jon90,jon91}| produces `Jones et al.\ [21, 22]' with the
%     punctuation between the numbers; a space is automatically included for
%     numbers, but not for superscripts.
%   \item a single character does not really need to be in |{ }|,
%      other than a comma; |yysep=;| is acceptable;
% \end{itemize}
%
% \DescribeMacro{\bibpunct}
% The older command for setting the citation style is |\bibpunct|, which
% takes one optional and six required arguments:
% \begin{enumerate}
% \item the opening bracket symbol, default = (
% \item the closing bracket symbol, default = )
% \item the punctuation between multiple citations, default = ;
% \item the letter `n' for numerical style, or `s' for numerical superscript
%       style, any other letter for
%       author--year, default = author--year;
% \item the punctuation that comes between the author names and the year
% \item the punctuation that comes between years or numbers when common author
%       lists are suppressed (default = ,);
% \end{enumerate}
%
% The optional argument is the character preceding a post-note, default is a
% comma plus space. In redefining this character, one must include a space if
% one is wanted.
%
% The above |\setcitestyle| examples can be achieved with
% \begin{quote}
% |\bibpunct{[}{]}{,}{a}{}{;}| and\\
% |\bibpunct[,~]{(}{)}{,}{a}{}{;}|.
% \end{quote}

%
% \subsection{Predefining a citation style}\label{sec:predef}
%
% \DescribeMacro{\bibstyle@xxx}
% \DescribeMacro{\citestyle}
%
% If a particular set of citation punctuations is commonly used, it is possible
% to store it in the local \thestyle\texttt{.cfg} and to recall it with
% |\citestyle{|\emph{name}|}|. The
% definition is done by creating a command |\bibstyle@|\emph{name}, which sets
% the desired citation style.
%
% For example, the American Geophysical Union (AGU) demands in its publications
% that citations be made with square brackets and separated by semi-colons.
% There is an \texttt{agu.bst} file to accomplish most of the formatting, but
% such punctuations are not included in it. Instead, \thestyle{} has the
% definition
% \begin{quote}
% |\newcommand{\bibstyle@agu}{\bibpunct{[}{]}{;}{a}{,}{,~}}|
% \end{quote}
% which allows this set to be selected with the command
% \begin{quote}
% |\citestyle{agu}|
% \end{quote}
%
% There is an additional feature to such predefined styles: \thestyle\ attempts
% to execute |\citestyle| at the beginning of the document
% with the name of the bibliography style, as given by
% the |\bibliographystyle| command (and stored in the \texttt{.aux} file).
% This means that a citation style can be
% directly associated with a \texttt{.bst} file. Such implicit styles are
% immediately overwritten by any explicit style specifications, such as package
% options, or by |\setcitestyle|, |\bibpunct|, or |\citestyle| commands.
%
% Predefined citation styles are contained within the \thestyle\ code for the
% following bibliography styles:
% \begin{description}
%   \item[\texttt{plain}] etc. (the 4 base styles): square braces, numerical, commas
%   \item[\texttt{plainnat}] etc.: square braces, author--year, commas
%   \item[\texttt{agu}] (American Geophysical Union): square, author--year, semi-colon
%   \item[\texttt{egu}] (European Geosciences Union): round, author--year, semi-colon
%   \item[\texttt{agms, dcu, kluwer}] (Harvard set): round, author--year
%   \item[\texttt{cospar}] (Committe on Space Research): slashes, numerical, comma
%   \item[\texttt{nature}] (Journal \textsl{Nature}): superscripts
% \end{description}
% There are others but they are mainly for my personal convenience. The above
% represent most of the major variations and can be used as required. The
% automatic association with other bibliography styles can only be achieved by
% putting the definitions into the local \thestyle\texttt{.cfg}.
%
% Note that the predefinitions for |plain| and |plainnat| specify square
% braces, thus changing the normal \thestyle\ default of round parentheses.
%
% The style defining commands may contain more than just |\bibpunct|
% or |\setcitestyle|.
% Some numerical citation scheme require even more changes. For example,
% \textsl{Nature} not only uses superscripted numbers for
% citations, it also prints the numbers in the list of references without
% the normal square brackets. To
% accommodate this, \thestyle{} contains the style definition
% \begin{quote}\begin{verbatim}
% \newcommand{\bibstyle@nature}%
%     {\bibpunct{}{}{,}{s}{}{\textsuperscript{,}}%
%      \renewcommand\bibnumfmt[1]{##1.}}
% \end{verbatim}
% \end{quote}
% The redefined |\bibnumfmt| command specifies how the reference numbers
% are to be formatted in the list of references itself.
%
% \subsection{Priority of Style Commands}\label{sec:priority}
% The citation style (punctuation and mode) can be selected by means of the
% |\setcitestyle|, |\bibpunct|, |\citestyle| commands or via
% |\bibliographystyle{|\textit{bst}|}| with a predefined |\bibstyle@|\textit{bst}.
% They can also be selected by package options
% (Section~\ref{sec:opts}). What happens if there are several conflicting
% selections?
%
% The lowest priority is assigned to the |\bibliographystyle|
% command, since this is implicit and not transparent to the user. The
% package options have the next priority. Finally, any selection by
% |\setcitestyle|,
% |\bibpunct| and/or |\citestyle| overrides those of the other methods.
%
% \subsection{Other Formatting Options}

%
% \DescribeMacro{\bibsection}
% The list of references normally appears as a |\section*| or |\chapter*|,

Redefine |\bibsection| to the desired sectioning command for introducing
the list of references. This is normally |\section*| or |\chapter*|.

% \fi

% \DescribeMacro{\bibpreamble}
% A preamble appearing after the |\bibsection| heading may be inserted before
% the actual list of references by redefining |\bibpreamble|. This will appear in

%
% \iffalse
Redefine |\bibpreamble| to be any text that is to be printed after the heading but
before the actual list of references.

% \fi
%
% \DescribeMacro{\bibfont}
% The list of references is normally printed in the same font size and
% style as the main body. However, it is possible to redefine |\bibfont|
% to be font commands that are in effect within the \texttt{thebibliography}
% environment after any preamble. For example,
% \begin{quote}
% |\renewcommand{\bibfont}{\small}|
% \end{quote}
% \iffalse
Redefine |\bibfont| to be a font declaration, e.g.\ |\small| to apply to
the list of references.

%
% \DescribeMacro{\citenumfont}
% Numerical citations may be printed in a different font. Define |\citenumfont|
% to be a font declaration like |\itshape| or even a command taking arguments
% like |\textit|.
% \begin{quote}
% |\renewcommand{\citenumfont}[1]{\textit{#1}}|
% \end{quote}
% The above is better than |\itshape| since it automatically adds italic
% correction.
% \iffalse
Redefine |\citenumfont| to be a font declaration or command like |\itshape|
or |\textit|.

% \fi
%
% \DescribeMacro{\bibnumfmt}
% The format of the numerical listing in the reference list may also be changed

% \end{quote}
% to achieve \textbf{32}: instead.
% \iffalse
Redefine |\bibnumfmt| as a command with an argument to format the numbers in
the list of references. The default definition is |[#1]|.

% \fi
%
% \DescribeMacro{\bibhang}
% The list of references for author--year styles uses a hanging indentation
% format: the first line of each reference is flush left, the following lines
% are set with an indentation from the left margin. This indentation is 1~em
% by default but may be changed by redefining (with |\setlength|) the
% length parameter |\bibhang|.

|\bibhang|; change this with the |\setlength| command.

% \fi
% \DescribeMacro{\bibsep}
% The vertical spacing between references in the list, whether author--year
% or numerical, is controlled by the length |\bibsep|. If this is set to
% 0~pt, there is no extra line spacing between references. The default
% spacing depends on the font size selected in |\documentclass|, and is
% almost a full blank line. Change this by redefining |\bibsep| with

%<*notes>
\head{Automatic indexing of citations}
% \fi
If one wishes to have the citations entered in the \texttt{.idx} indexing
file, it is only necessary to issue |\citeindextrue| at any point in the
document. All following |\cite| commands, of all variations, then insert
the corresponding entry to that file. With |\citeindexfalse|, these
entries will no longer be made.

% \iffalse
%</notes>
% \fi
% The |\bibitem| commands in the \texttt{thebibliography} environment will
% also make index entries. If this is not desired, then issue
% |\citeindexfalse| before |\bibliography| or |\begin{thebibliography}|.
%
% Of course, |\makeindex| must also be issued in the preamble to activate
% indexing, as usual. Otherwise, no indexing is done at all.
%
% Make sure that the document has been processed at least twice after the
% last \btx\ run before running the \texttt{makeindex} program.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\NAT@idxtxt}
% The form of the index entries is set by the internal |\NAT@idxtxt|, which
% can be redefined by hackers if wanted (in the \thestyle\texttt{.cfg} file
% please). By default, it prints the short author list plus date or number in the
% current parenthesis style and citation mode.
%
% The \thestyle\ package can also be used with the \texttt{index} package of
% David~M. Jones. The order in which the packages are loaded is not
% important.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\citeindextype}
% In that package, multiple index lists may be made by means of a |\newindex|
% command. For example, it may be desirable to put all the citation indexing
% into a separate list. First that list must be initiated with, e.g.,
% \begin{quote}
%    |\newindex{cite}{ctx}{cnd}{List of Citations}|
% \end{quote}
% and then the automatic citation indexing associated with this list with the
% \thestyle\ command
% \begin{quote}
%    |\renewcommand{\citeindextype}{cite}|
% \end{quote}
% See the documentation for \texttt{index.sty} for details.
%
% \subsection{Hyper\TeX\ Compatibility}
% The \thestyle\ package is compatible with the \texttt{hyperref}
% package of Sebastian Rahtz and Heiko Oberdiek.
% , for use with
% \LaTeX\ $\rightarrow$ HTML conversions, pdf\TeX, \texttt{pdfmark}.
% The compatibility is of a mutual nature: both packages contain
% coding that interact with that of the other.
%
% There is a special option to the \texttt{hyperref} package: \texttt{breaklinks}
% which allows the link text to be split over to the next
% line, avoiding many overfull line messages. By default, the link text is
% restricted to be on one line. For numerical citations, this may be desirable,
% but for author--year ones with long link texts, it is not.
%
% \subsection{Multiple Bibliographies in One Document}\label{sec:chapbib}
%
% \iffalse
%<*notes>
\head{Use with \texttt{chapterbib} package}
% \fi

The \thestyle\ package is compatible with the \texttt{chapterbib} package
% of Donald Arseneau and Niel Kempson,
which makes it possible to have several bibliographies in one document.
% The usual application is to have bibliographies in each chapter of a book,
% especially if they have been written by different authors.
%
% The \texttt{chapterbib} package works in a very natural way for the
% author; only the editor who puts all the chapters together into one book
% has to do some extra work.

The package makes use of the |\include| command, and each |\include|d file
has its own bibliography.
% For large books, it makes very good sense to take advantage of this feature
% in any case.
%
% To review the use of |\include|, recall that the main file
% \begin{verbatim}
%   \documentclass{...}
%   \includeonly{ch2}
%   \begin{document}
%     \include{ch1}
%     \include{ch2}
%     \include{ch3}
%   \end{document}
% \end{verbatim}
% will process only the file \texttt{ch2.tex} as though the files
% \texttt{ch1.tex} and \texttt{ch3.tex} were also present. That is, all
% counters, especially the page and section numbers, as well as
% cross-referencing definitions, will function as if the whole document
% were processed. The trick is that each |\include|d file has it own
% \texttt{.aux} file containing these definitions, and they are all read
% in every time, even if the corresponding \texttt{.tex} file is not. The
% \texttt{.aux} files also contain the citation information for \btx,
% something that the \texttt{chapterbib} package exploits.
%
% If |\usepackage{chapterbib}| has been given, the keys in each |\cite|
% and |\bibitem| command are associated with the current |\include|d file
% and are distinguished from the identical key in a different file. Each of
% these files must contain its own |\bibliography| and |\bibliographystyle|
% commands. One processes \btx\ on each file separately before processing
% it under \LaTeX\ (at least twice).
%
% \subsubsection{Special Considerations for \thestyle\ and
%           \texttt{chapterbib}}

The order in which the \texttt{chapterbib} and \thestyle\ packages are loaded
is unimportant.

The \texttt{chapterbib} package provides an option \texttt{sectionbib}
that puts the bibliography in a |\section*| instead of |\chapter*|,
something that makes sense if there is a bibliography in each chapter.
This option will not work when \thestyle\ is also loaded; instead, add
the option to \thestyle.
% (The \texttt{sectionbib} option can always be
% given, but it only has meaning for the \texttt{book} and \texttt{report}
% classes, or for classes derived from them.)

Every |\include|d file must contain its own
|\bibliography| command where the bibliography is to appear. The database
files listed as arguments to this command can be different in each file,
of course. However, what is not so obvious, is that each file must also
contain a |\bibliographystyle| command, with possibly differing arguments.

As of version~8.0, the citation style, including mode (author--year or
numerical) may also differ between chapters. The |\setcitestyle| command
% as well as |\bibpunct| and |\citestyle|
can be issued at any point in the document, in particular in different
chapters.
%(And this is the only time it would make sense to do so.)

%
% \subsection{Sorting and Compressing Numerical Citations}
% \label{sec:sort}
%
% Another package by Donald Arseneau, \texttt{cite.sty}, reimplements the
% entire (numerical) citation system such that one can control the
% punctuation and citation format, all of which is done by \thestyle\ as
% well. However, it also can sort and compress numerical citations,
% something that is required by some journals.
%
% What this means is that when multiple citations are given with a single
% |\cite| command, the normal order of the numbers is in the sequence
% given. This is usually a wild list of numbers, such as [4,2,8,3]. With
% the \texttt{cite} package, this list becomes [2--4,8].
%
% It is impossible to make the \texttt{cite} and \thestyle\ packages
% compatible, since both reimplement |\cite| from scratch. Instead, I have
% taken over some of the coding from \texttt{cite.sty}, modifying it for
% \thestyle{}. This coding is activated by including one of the options
% \texttt{sort} or \texttt{sort\&compress} in the |\usepackage| command.
%
% For author--year citations, the option \texttt{sort} orders the citations in
% a single |\citep| or |\citet| command into the sequence in which they appear
% in the list of references. This is normally alphabetical first, year second.
% This should avoid citations of the type: ``James et~al.\ (1994b,a)''. For
% author--year mode, the \texttt{sort\&compress} option is identical to
% \texttt{sort}.
%
% \iffalse
%<*notes>
\head{Sorting and compressing citations}
Do not use the \texttt{cite} package with \thestyle; rather use one of the
options \texttt{sort}, \texttt{compress}, or \texttt{sort\&compress}.

These also work with author--year citations, making multiple citations appear
in their order in the reference list.

%
% \subsection{Merged Numerical References}
% \label{sec:merge}

% \iffalse
%<*notes>
\head{Merged Numerical References}
Do not use the \texttt{mcite} package with \thestyle; rather use the package option \texttt{merge}.

%</notes>
% \fi
% \begin{quote}
% \textbf{Note:} the |merge| coding was contributed by
% Arthur Ogawa for the American Physical Society.
% \end{quote}
%
% Thorsten Ohl's \texttt{mcite} package cannot be used together with
% \thestyle. Instead, one must invoke the package option
% \texttt{merge} with the |\usepackage| statement.
%
% \iffalse
%<*notes>
% \fi

With this option in effect, citation keys within a multiple |\citep| command
may contain a leading * that causes them to be merged in the bibliography
together with the previous citation as a single entry with a single reference
number. For example, |\citep{feynmann,*salam,*epr}| produces a single number,
and all three references are listed in the bibliography under one entry with
that number.
%
% Certain restrictions of Thorsten Ohl's \texttt{mcite} package are lifted: a *
% prefix can be used with any citation key, and Ohl's restrictions on syntax do
% not apply.
%
% An additional feature allows text to be inserted inside the bibliography entry:
% within the argument of \verb+\citep+, a cite key may be preceded by two optional arguements, e.g.,
% \verb+\citep{[+\emph{pre}\verb+][+\emph{post}\verb+]+\emph{key}\verb+}+,
% where \emph{pre} represents text to be prepended to the reference (\verb+\bibitem+ content),
% with \emph{post} appended thereto.
%
% Thus it is possible for the user to mark up the document:
% \begin{verbatim}
% text \citep{*[{See, e.g., }][ for a simpler explanation]ablebaker}
% \end{verbatim}
% The above example illustrates the use of the star-form and both optional arguments.
%
% \medskip\noindent
% \textbf{Caution:} Because the comma (,) character is part of the syntax of \verb+\citep+,
% and because the bracket delimiters ([]) are mere text characters and not true delimiters (like the braces),
% you must enclose the optional argument in braces (\verb+{}+) if a comma is present in the
% argument (that goes for brackets, too, of course).

The \texttt{elide} option also activates the merging features, but also sees
to it that common parts of the merged references (e.g., authors) are not
repeated but are written only once in the single bibliography entry.

The \texttt{mcite} option turns off the merging and eliding features, but
allows the special syntax (the * and optional inserted texts) to be ignored.

These functions are available only to numerical-mode citations, and only when
used parenthetically, similar to the restrictions on \texttt{sort} and
\texttt{compress}.

They also require special \texttt{.bst} files, as provided for example by the
American Physical Society for their REV\TeX\ class.

%
% \subsection{Long Author List on First Citation}\label{sec:long}
%
% A feature that has often been requested by otherwise happy users of
% \thestyle\ is one that is found in the \texttt{harvard} package as
% standard: with the first citation of any reference, the full author list is
% printed, and afterwards only the abbreviated list. One can control this
% with |\citet*| for the first citation, and |\citet| or |\citep| thereafter.
% However, the automatic feature is very desired.
%
% This can be activated with the option
% \texttt{longnamesfirst}.
%
% \iffalse
%<*notes>
\head{Long author list on first citation}
Use option \texttt{longnamesfirst} to have first citation automatically give
the full list of authors.

Suppress this for certain citations with |\shortcites{|\emph{key-list}|}|,
given before the first citation.

%</notes>
% \fi
%
% \DescribeMacro{\shortcites}
% Some references have so many authors that you want to suppress the
% automatic long list only for them. In this case, issue
% \begin{quote}
%   |\shortcites|\marg{key-list}
% \end{quote}
% before the first citations, and those included in \emph{key-list} will have
% a short list on their first citation.
%
% Full author lists can still be forced at any time with the starred
% variants.
%
% \section{Numerical Citations with Author--Year Styles}\label{sec:6.0}
%
% It is possible to produce numerical citations with any author-year
% \texttt{.bst} file, with minimal change to the text. The commands |\citet|
% and |\citep| will produce sensible results in both modes, without any special
% editing. Obviously, the opposite is not possible; a \texttt{.bst} file
% intended for numerical citation can never produce author--year citations,
% simply because the information is not transferred to the auxiliary file.
%
% \subsection{Selecting Numerical Mode}
% By default, \thestyle{} is in author--year mode. This can be changed by
% \begin{enumerate}
%   \item selecting a numerical bibliography style with predefined
%         citation style, defined either in the package or in the local
%         configuration file;
%
%   \item giving options \texttt{numbers} or \texttt{super} to the
%         |\usepackage| command;
%
%   \item issuing |\setcitestyle{numbers}|;
%
%   \item issuing |\citestyle| with the name of a predefined numerical
%         bibliography style (like \texttt{plain} and use it with \texttt{plainnat}).
% \end{enumerate}
%
% The \thestyle{} package will automatically switch to numerical mode if
% any one of the |\bibitem| entries fails to conform to the possible
% author--year formats. There is no way to override this, since such an
% entry would cause trouble in the author--year mode.
%
% There are certain special `numerical' styles, like that of the standard
% \texttt{alpha.bst}, which include a non-numerical label in place of the
% number, in the form
% \begin{quote} |\bibitem[ABC95]{able95}| \end{quote}
% As far as \thestyle\ is concerned, this label does not conform to the
% author--year possibilities and is therefore considered to be numerical.
% The citation mode switches to numerical, and |\cite{able95}| prints
% [ABC95].
%
% See however, the end of Section~\ref{sec:yearless} for another possibility.
% The above result can be achieved with
% \begin{quote} |\bibitem[ABC95()]{able95}| \end{quote}
%
% \section{Local Configuration}
% It is possible to add a local configuration file
% \thestyle\texttt{.cfg}, which is read in, if it exists, at
% the end of the package. It may thus contain coding to supecede that in
% the package, although its main purpose is to allow the user to add his or her
% own |\bibstyle@|\textit{bst} definitions to couple citation punctuation
% with local bibliography styles or for use with |\citestyle|.
%
% \iffalse
%<*notes>

Any local recoding or definitions can be put in \thestyle\texttt{.cfg} which
is read in after the main package file.

% \section{Package Options}\label{sec:opts}
% When a package is loaded with |\usepackage|, one can add options to select
% different features, as
% \begin{quote}
% |\usepackage[|\emph{options}|]{|\thestyle|}|
% \end{quote}
% \iffalse
%<*notes>
\head{Options that can be added to \texttt{\char`\\ usepackage}}
% \fi
% The options available provide another means of specifying the
% punctuation for citations:
\begin{description}
\item[\ttfamily round] (default) for round parentheses;
\item[\ttfamily square] for square brackets;
\item[\ttfamily curly] for curly braces;
\item[\ttfamily angle] for angle brackets;
\item[\ttfamily semicolon] (default) to separate multiple citations with
     semi-colons;
\item[\ttfamily colon] the same as \texttt{semicolon}, an earlier mistake in
     terminology;
\item[\ttfamily comma] to use commas as separators;
\item[\ttfamily authoryear] (default) for author--year citations;
\item[\ttfamily numbers] for numerical citations;
\item[\ttfamily super] for superscripted numerical citations, as in
     \textsl{Nature};
\item[\ttfamily sort] orders multiple citations into the sequence in
     which they appear in the list of references;
\item[\ttfamily sort\&compress] as \texttt{sort} but in addition multiple
     numerical citations are compressed if possible (as 3--6, 15);
\item[\ttfamily compress] to compress without sorting, so compression only
     occurs when the given citations would produce an ascending sequence of
     numbers;
\item[\ttfamily longnamesfirst] makes the first citation of any reference
     the equivalent of the starred variant (full author list) and subsequent
     citations normal (abbreviated list);
\item[\ttfamily sectionbib] redefines |\thebibliography| to issue
     |\section*| instead of |\chapter*|; valid only for classes with a
     |\chapter| command; to be used with the \texttt{chapterbib} package;
\item[\ttfamily nonamebreak] keeps all the authors' names in a citation on
     one line; causes overfull hboxes but helps with some \texttt{hyperref}
     problems;
\item[\ttfamily merge] to allow the * prefix to the citation key,
     and to merge such a citation's reference with that of the previous
     citation;
\item[\ttfamily elide] to elide common elements of merged references, like
     the authors or year;
\item[\ttfamily mcite] to recognize (and ignore) the merging syntax.
\end{description}
% The options \texttt{curly} and \texttt{angle} are not really serious; I only
% added them because that completes the normal list of bracket types. The only
% other citation possibilities I know have really encountered are solidus, e.g. /21/,
% or something like (Ref. 21). These must be set with |\setcitestyle{open={/},close={/}}|.
% \iffalse
%</notes>
% \fi
%
% The package options are overwritten by any explicit |\setcitestyle|, |\bibpunct|,
% or |\citestyle| commands. And both these commands and the package options
% turn off the automatic setting with |\bibliographystyle|, if effective.
%
% \section{Reference Sheet}
%
% A summary of the main points on using \thestyle\ can be obtained by
% \LaTeX{}ing the file \texttt{natnotes.tex}, which is extracted from the main
% source file \thestyle\texttt{.dtx} with the \texttt{docstrip} option
% \texttt{notes}. This is intended to act as a handy reference sheet.
%
% This file should be extracted automatically by the supplied installation file,
% \thestyle\texttt{.ins}.
%
%^^A The following is a summary that goes into the .sty file
%^^A It is not printed in the documentation, since the Reference Sheet exists
% \iffalse
%<*package>
 % This package reimplements the LaTeX \cite command to be used for various
 % citation styles, both author-year and numerical. It accepts BibTeX
 % output intended for many other packages, and therefore acts as a
 % general, all-purpose citation-style interface.
 %
 % With standard numerical .bst files, only numerical citations are
 % possible. With an author-year .bst file, both numerical and
 % author-year citations are possible.
 %
 % If author-year citations are selected, \bibitem must have one of the
 %   following forms:
 %   \bibitem[Jones et al.(1990)]{key}...
 %   \bibitem[Jones et al.(1990)Jones, Baker, and Williams]{key}...
%<*apalike|all>
 %   \bibitem[Jones et al., 1990]{key}...
%</apalike|all>
%<*newapa|chicago|all>
 %   \bibitem[\protect\citeauthoryear{Jones, Baker, and Williams}{Jones
 %       et al.}{1990}]{key}...
 %   \bibitem[\protect\citeauthoryear{Jones et al.}{1990}]{key}...
%</newapa|chicago|all>
%<*astron|all>
 %   \bibitem[\protect\astroncite{Jones et al.}{1990}]{key}...
%</astron|all>
%<*authordate|all>
 %   \bibitem[\protect\citename{Jones et al., }1990]{key}...
%</authordate|all>
%<*harvard|all>
 %   \harvarditem[Jones et al.]{Jones, Baker, and Williams}{1990}{key}...
%</harvard|all>
 %
 % This is either to be made up manually, or to be generated by an
 % appropriate .bst file with BibTeX.
 %                            Author-year mode     ||   Numerical mode
 % Then, \citet{key}  ==>>  Jones et al. (1990)    ||   Jones et al. [21]
 %       \citep{key}  ==>> (Jones et al., 1990)    ||   [21]
 % Multiple citations as normal:
 % \citep{key1,key2}  ==>> (Jones et al., 1990; Smith, 1989) || [21,24]
 %                           or  (Jones et al., 1990, 1991)  || [21,24]
 %                           or  (Jones et al., 1990a,b)     || [21,24]
 % \cite{key} is the equivalent of \citet{key} in author-year mode
 %                         and  of \citep{key} in numerical mode
 % Full author lists may be forced with \citet* or \citep*, e.g.
 %       \citep*{key}      ==>> (Jones, Baker, and Williams, 1990)
 % Optional notes as:
 %   \citep[chap. 2]{key}    ==>> (Jones et al., 1990, chap. 2)
 %   \citep[e.g.,][]{key}    ==>> (e.g., Jones et al., 1990)
 %   \citep[see][pg. 34]{key}==>> (see Jones et al., 1990, pg. 34)
 %  (Note: in standard LaTeX, only one note is allowed, after the ref.
 %   Here, one note is like the standard, two make pre- and post-notes.)
 %   \citealt{key}          ==>> Jones et al. 1990
 %   \citealt*{key}         ==>> Jones, Baker, and Williams 1990
 %   \citealp{key}          ==>> Jones et al., 1990
 %   \citealp*{key}         ==>> Jones, Baker, and Williams, 1990
 % Additional citation possibilities (both author-year and numerical modes)
 %   \citeauthor{key}       ==>> Jones et al.
 %   \citeauthor*{key}      ==>> Jones, Baker, and Williams
 %   \citeyear{key}         ==>> 1990
 %   \citeyearpar{key}      ==>> (1990)
 %   \citetext{priv. comm.} ==>> (priv. comm.)
 %   \citenum{key}          ==>> 11 [non-superscripted]
 % Note: full author lists depends on whether the bib style supports them;
 %       if not, the abbreviated list is printed even when full requested.
 %
 % For names like della Robbia at the start of a sentence, use
 %   \Citet{dRob98}         ==>> Della Robbia (1998)
 %   \Citep{dRob98}         ==>> (Della Robbia, 1998)
 %   \Citeauthor{dRob98}    ==>> Della Robbia
 %
 %
 % Citation aliasing is achieved with
 %   \defcitealias{key}{text}
 %   \citetalias{key}  ==>> text
 %   \citepalias{key}  ==>> (text)
 %
 % Defining the citation mode and punctual (citation style)
 %   \setcitestyle{<comma-separated list of keywords, same
 %     as the package options>}
 % Example: \setcitestyle{square,semicolon}
 % Alternatively:
 % Use \bibpunct with 6 mandatory arguments:
 %    1. opening bracket for citation
 %    2. closing bracket
 %    3. citation separator (for multiple citations in one \cite)
 %    4. the letter n for numerical styles, s for superscripts
 %        else anything for author-year
 %    5. punctuation between authors and date
 %    6. punctuation between years (or numbers) when common authors missing
 % One optional argument is the character coming before post-notes. It
 %   appears in square braces before all other arguments. May be left off.
 % Example (and default) \bibpunct[, ]{(}{)}{;}{a}{,}{,}
 %
 % To make this automatic for a given bib style, named newbib, say, make
 % a local configuration file, natbib.cfg, with the definition
 %   \newcommand{\bibstyle@newbib}{\bibpunct...}
 % Then the \bibliographystyle{newbib} will cause \bibstyle@newbib to
 % be called on THE NEXT LATEX RUN (via the aux file).
 %
 % Such preprogrammed definitions may be invoked anywhere in the text
 %  by calling \citestyle{newbib}. This is only useful if the style specified
 %  differs from that in \bibliographystyle.
 %
 % With \citeindextrue and \citeindexfalse, one can control whether the
 % \cite commands make an automatic entry of the citation in the .idx
 % indexing file. For this, \makeindex must also be given in the preamble.
 %
 % Package Options: (for selecting punctuation)
 %   round  -  round parentheses are used (default)
 %   square -  square brackets are used   [option]
 %   curly  -  curly braces are used      {option}
 %   angle  -  angle brackets are used    <option>
 %   semicolon  -  multiple citations separated by semi-colon (default)
 %   colon  - same as semicolon, an earlier confusion
 %   comma  -  separated by comma
 %   authoryear - selects author-year citations (default)
 %   numbers-  selects numerical citations
 %   super  -  numerical citations as superscripts
 %   sort   -  sorts multiple citations according to order in ref. list
 %   sort&compress   -  like sort, but also compresses numerical citations
 %   compress - compresses without sorting
 %   longnamesfirst  -  makes first citation full author list
 %   sectionbib - puts bibliography in a \section* instead of \chapter*
 %   merge - allows the citation key to have a * prefix,
 %           signifying to merge its reference with that of the previous citation.
 %   elide - if references are merged, repeated portions of later ones may be removed.
 %   mcite - recognizes and ignores the * prefix for merging.
 % Punctuation so selected dominates over any predefined ones.
 % Package options are called as, e.g.
 %        \usepackage[square,comma]{natbib}
 % LaTeX the source file natbib.dtx to obtain more details
 % or the file natnotes.tex for a brief reference sheet.

% \fi
%
% \section{Options with \texttt{docstrip}}
% The source \texttt{.dtx} file is meant to be processed with
% \texttt{docstrip}, for which a number of options are available:
% \begin{description}
% \item[\ttfamily all] includes all of the other interfaces;
%
% \item[\ttfamily apalike] allows interpretation of minimal \texttt{apalike}
%    form of |\bibitem|;
%
% \item[\ttfamily newapa] allows |\citeauthoryear| to be in the optional
%    argument of |\bibitem| along with the punctuation commands of
%    \texttt{newapa.sty};
%
% \item[\ttfamily chicago] is the same as \texttt{newapa};
%
% \item[\ttfamily harvard] includes interpretation of |\harvarditem|;
%
% \item[\ttfamily astron] allows |\astroncite| to appear in the optional
%    argument of |\bibitem|;
%
% \item[\ttfamily authordate] adds the syntax of the |\citename| command.
%
% \end{description}
%
% The remaining options are:
% \begin{description}
% \item[\ttfamily package] to produce a \texttt{.sty} package file with most
%     comments removed;
%
% \item[\ttfamily notes] extracts a summary of usage to be used as a
%     reference sheet; the resulting file is to be \LaTeX{}ed;
%
% \item[\ttfamily driver] to produce a driver \texttt{.ltx} file that will
%     print out the documentation when \LaTeX'd. This file can be modified
%     to produce various alternatives (page size, fonts, manual only, or with
%     annotated code). The \thestyle\texttt{.dtx} file is itself such a driver
%     but it should never, ever be edited by a user.
%
% \end{description}
% The source file \texttt{\filename.dtx} is itself a driver file and can
% be processed directly by \LaTeX.
%
%
% \section{Other Author--Year Solutions}
% \begin{quote}\slshape
% This section is of historical interest only.
% \end{quote}
%
% Before \thestyle{} was published in 1993, there were several other attempts
% to provide author--year citations, some of which inspired \thestyle. A few of
% these are still maintained and used, and for that reason, \thestyle{} has
% attempted to include their |\bibitem| syntaxes, to be compatible with those
% \texttt{.bst} files.
%
% Most of these `packages' are really \LaTeX~2.09 style files, so do not have
% features available with the modern \LaTeXe.
%
% \subsection{The \texttt{natsci.bst} Style}
% What gave me my first inspiration was Stephen Gildea's \texttt{natsci.bst}
% for use with his \texttt{agujgr.sty} file. This showed me that the problem
% was solvable. However, Gildea's formats |\bibitem| with just
% the abbreviated
% authors and year. Thus only parenthetical citations can be accommodated.
%
% The name \texttt{natsci} stands for \emph{natural sciences}, and it was this
% that led to the name \thestyle. (This is admittedly an ugly name, but it is
% now established and cannot be changed so easily.)
%
% \subsection{The \texttt{apalike.bst} Style}
% Oren Patashnik, the originator of \btx{} and the standard \texttt{.bst}
% files, has also worked on an author--year style, called \texttt{apalike.bst}
% with a corresponding \texttt{apalike.sty} to support it. Again, only the
% parenthetical citation is provided. Its functionality is identical to that
% of the \texttt{natsci} files.
%
% The form of the \texttt{thebibliography} entries in this system is
% \begin{quote}
% |\bibitem[Jones et al., 1990]{jon90}...|
% \end{quote}
% This is the most minimal form that can
% be given. I name it the \texttt{apalike} variant, after Patashnik's
% \texttt{apalike.bst} and \texttt{apalike.sty}. However, there could be many
% independent \texttt{.bst} files that follow this line, such as the
% \texttt{natsci} styles.
%
% The bibliography style files belonging to this group include:
% \begin{quote}
% \texttt{apalike}, \texttt{apalike2}, \texttt{cea}, \texttt{cell},
% \texttt{jmb}, \texttt{phapalik}, \texttt{phppcf}, \texttt{phrmp}
% \end{quote}
%
% \subsection{The \texttt{newapa} Style}
% A major improvement was achieved with \texttt{newapa.bst} and the
% accompanying \texttt{newapa.sty} files by Stephen N. Spencer and Young U.
% Ryu. Under their system, three separate items of information are included
% in the |\bibitem| label, to be used as required. These are: the full
% author list, the abbreviated list, and the year. This is accomplished by
% means of a |\citeauthoryear| command included in the label, as
% \begin{quote}
% |\bibitem[\protect\citeauthoryear{Jones, Barker,|\\
% |  and Williams}{Jones et al.}{1990}]{jon90}...|
% \end{quote}
% Actually, this only illustrates the basic structure of |\citeauthoryear|;
% the \texttt{newapa} files go even further to replace some words and
% punctuation
% with commands. For example, the word `and' above is really
% |\betweenauthors|, something that must be defined in the \texttt{.sty} file.
% Of course, |\citeauthoryear| is also defined in that file. A
% number of different |\cite| commands are available to print out the
% citation with complete author list, with the short list, with or without
% the date, the textual or parenthetical form.
%
% Thus the |\citeauthoryear| entry in |\bibitem| is very flexible,
% permitting the style file to generate every citation form that one might
% want. It is used by a number of other styles, with corresponding
% \texttt{.sty} files. They all appear to have been inspired by
% \texttt{newapa.bst}, although they lack the extra punctuation commands.
%
% Bibliographic style files belonging to the \texttt{newapa} group include
% \begin{quote}
% \texttt{newapa}, \texttt{chicago}, \texttt{chicagoa}, \texttt{jas99},
% \texttt{named}
% \end{quote}
%
% \noindent
% \textbf{Note:} the last of these, \texttt{named.bst}, uses |\citeauthoryear| in a
% slightly different manner, with only two arguments: the short list and
% year.
%
% \subsection{The Harvard Family}
% The same effect is achieved by a different approach in the Harvard family
% of bibliographic styles. Here a substitute for |\bibitem| is used, as
% \begin{quote}
% |\harvarditem[Jones et al.]{Jones, Baker, and|\\
% |   Williams}{1990}{jon90}...|
% \end{quote}
% The accompanying interface package file is called \texttt{harvard.sty}
% and is written by Peter Williams and Thorsten Schnier. It
% defines |\harvarditem| as well as the citation commands |\cite|, for
% parenthentical, and |\citeasnoun|, for textual citations. The first
% citation uses the long author list, following ones the shorter list, if
% it has been given in the optional argument to |\harvarditem|.
%
% Bibliography styles belonging to the Harvard family are
% \begin{quote}
% \texttt{agsm}, \texttt{dcu}, \texttt{kluwer}
% \end{quote}
%
% This package has been updated for \LaTeXe, with many additions to
% add flexibility. The result is a powerful interface that should meet most
% citation needs. (It does not suppress repeated authors, though,
% as \thestyle{} does.)
%
% \subsection{The Astronomy Style}
% Apparently realizing the limitations of his \texttt{apalike} system, Oren
% Patashnik went on to develop a `true' \texttt{apa} bibliographic style,
% making use of the method already employed by an astronomy journal. This
% is actually very similar to the \texttt{newapa} label but with only the
% short list of authors:
% \begin{quote}
% |\bibitem[\protect\astroncite{Jones et al.}{1990}]{jon90}|\\
% |   ...|
% \end{quote}
% It requires the package file \texttt{astron.sty}
% or any other style that defines |\astroncite| appropriately.
%
% Bibliographic styles belonging to the astronomy group are
% \begin{quote}
% \texttt{apa}, \texttt{astron}, \texttt{bbs}, \texttt{cbe},
% \texttt{humanbio}, \texttt{humannat}, \texttt{jtb}
% \end{quote}
%
% This is as good as the |\citeauthoryear| command, although not as
% flexible since the full list of authors is missing.
%
% \subsection{The \texttt{authordate} Style}
% Finally, I also found some packages making use of a label command
% called |\citename| in the form
% \begin{quote}
% |\bibitem[\protect\citename{Jones et al., }1990]{jon90}|\\
% |    ...|
% \end{quote}
%
% This is not a good system since the author list and date are not cleanly
% separated as individual arguments, and since the punctuation is included
% in the label text. It is better to keep the punctuation fully removed, as
% part of the definitions in the \texttt{.sty} file, for complete flexibility.
%
% Bibliographic styles belonging to this group are
% \begin{quote}
% \texttt{authordate1}, \texttt{authordate2}, \texttt{authordate3},
% \texttt{authordate4}, \texttt{aaai-named}
% \end{quote}
% with accompanying style file \texttt{authordate1-4.sty}.

% \section{The Coding}
% This section presents and explains the actual coding of the macros.
% It is nested between |%<*package>| and |%</package>|, which
% are indicators to \texttt{docstrip} that this coding belongs to the package
% file.
%    \begin{macrocode}
%<*package>
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% With \LaTeX\ release from \texttt{1995/12/01}, |\cite| is made robust,
% something that I have adopted as well.
%
% Another change in the above release is that
% |\G@refundefinedtrue|\footnote{In fact, it was only proposed to be
%    removed, but because several packages, including this one, were
%    adversely affected, the name was retained for the new coding.}
% and the |\if@openbib| flag have been removed.
% New, more effective, and compact, coding has replaced them. Rather than
% relying on the kernel coding, I make \thestyle\ more
% self-reliant.
%
% \subsection{Prerequisites}
%
% \begin{macro}{\@ifxundefined}
% \begin{macro}{\@ifnum}
% \changes{8.2}{2008 Jul 02}{(AO) Add \cs{@ifxundefined}, a tool for testing a
%      \cs{TeX} macro, and \cs{@ifnum}, a tool for testing numbers, like \cs{ifnum}.}
% The test |\@ifxundefined| is similar syntactically to |\@ifundefined|, but
% its first argument is a control sequence name.
%
% A singular disadvantage of |\@ifundefined| is its side effect of
% changing the state of the effective control sequence name, if undefined, to |\relax|.
% In the usual usage of |\@ifundefined|, this does not have serious consequences,
% but it can, and |\@ifxundefined| avoids these.
%
% We also provide |\@ifnum|, a vehicle for |\ifnum| tests, but using the same
% Boolean algebra as, e.g., |\@ifundefined|, with its attendant advantages.

% Before version~6.0, the punctuation options had the lowest priority,
% being overridden by any |\bibstyle@|\textit{bst} command. It was necessary
% to add the option \texttt{nobibstyle} to make them effective. Now this
% option is automatically executed whenever a punctuation option is chosen.
% The reason is that \texttt{nobibstyle} is either superfluous (no
% predefined citation style is present) or always necessary to make the
% other options meaningful.
%
% It seems to be better practice to make any explicit choices to have
% higher priority over implicit ones.
%
% The option \texttt{bibstyle} reactivates the predefined commands, just in
% case this is needed, as it is for the option \texttt{authoryear}. This
% leaves the predefined styles functioning, since it does not really
% determine the citation style, but rather establishes a default which may
% be overwritten by a prestored one.  For this reason, this option must be
% defined very early so that any explicit punctuation options overwrite the
% defaults. (Options are executed in the order defined.)
%
% \end{macro}
%
% \subsection{Selecting Citation Punctuation and Other Modifications}
% \begin{macro}{\bibstyle}
% \changes{5.4}{1994 Nov 24}{Move \cs{ProcessOptions} to after definition
%    of \cs{bibstyle}}
% The pre-defined punctuation styles are associated with particular
% \texttt{.bst} files. This is implemented by means of the standard
% |\bibliographystyle| command that specifies the name of the \texttt{.bst}
% file that is to be used by \btx. Some \LaTeX{} manuals erroneously state
% that this command must be issued prior to any |\cite| commands. If that
% were the case, the task of invoking the style definitions would be much
% easier, for they certainly must be issued before the first |\cite|.
% However, I have always called |\bibliographystyle| together with
% |\bibliography|, well after all |\cite| commands.
%
% In fact, all that |\bibliographystyle|\marg{bst} does is to write
% |\bibstyle|\marg{bst} to the auxiliary file. This file, and all its
% contents, will be read in at the beginning of the next \LaTeX{} run; to
% be precise, it is read in by |\begin{document}|. The command |\bibstyle| is
% then executed at that point on the next run. However, it is
% defined to do nothing more than to swallow up its argument! In other
% words, the combination |\bibliographystyle| and |\bibstyle| do absolutely
% nothing to the \LaTeX{} runs. In fact, |\bibstyle| is a command for
% \btx{} alone.
%
% I have taken advantage of this to redefine |\bibstyle| to execute the
% \texttt{bst}-specific definitions. This definition is made here before
% |\ExecuteOptions| so that options may make use of it; the option
% \texttt{nobibstyle} turns it off, for example.
%
% Coding note (AO): if the csname has not been defined, then executing it simply
% executes |\relax|, so the coding here could be considerably simplified:
% just execute |\csname| |bibstyle@||#1||\endcsname| whether defined or not.
% (Done, PWD)
%    \begin{macrocode}
\renewcommand\bibstyle[1]{\csname bibstyle@#1\endcsname}
%    \end{macrocode}
% This is executed only when the auxiliary file is read in, and that is
% when |\begin{document}| is issued. Thus this is well before any |\cite|
% commands. It is for this reason that any definitions in the
% |\bibstyle@xxx| commands must be global.
%
% A minor problem arises in that the auxiliary file is read in a second
% time, at the end of the run, to check whether any labels have changed.
% Sometimes, re-executing the |\bibstyle@xxx| command at this point
% produces error messages. To avoid this, |\bibstyle| is reset to its
% normal, do-nothing, definition after |\begin{document}|.
%
% (|\NAT@set@cites| must also be executed at the start of the document;
% this is added later when the macro is defined.)

% To allow one to invoke preprogrammed punctuation styles that are
% different from the name of the bibliography style specified by
% |\bibliographystyle|, call |\citestyle| in the preamble. This then
% deactivates |\bibstyle| so that any preprogrammed punctuations become
% ineffective.
%
% This, and all other punctuation (citation style) declarations, may only
% be used in the preamble, as of version 5.5. (Previously they could only
% be used after the preamble, but the preamble is more logical.)

% Now |\bibpunct| is defined. It sets various punctuation commands equal to

% by the fourth argument. This is done by setting the citation style
% flag |NAT@numbers| accordingly. The internal cite macros are later
% set to the style-dependent definitions by calling |\NAT@set@cites|.
%
% The fourth argument can also be \texttt{s} for superscript, which
% sets both the numerical and the |\NAT@super| flags.
%
% An optional argument has been added to determine the punctuation that
% precedes a trailing note. This makes the counting of mandatory arguments

% \changes{6.7}{1997 Jul 16}{Add \cs{ifNAT@longnames} test}
% The original definition of |\@citex| is used as basis for |\NAT@citexnum|,
% the version for numerical citations. What it does is to write a
% |\citation| command to the auxiliary file (for \btx), and then parses the
% second argument, the list of citation keys. These keys have to be decoded
% into the actual label text contained in |\b@|\emph{key} (a number or
% author--year), and put together as the argument of |\@cite|.
%
% For a textual citation (|\ifNAT@swa| \meta{false}), the authors are printed
% and then the number in parentheses. For multiple citations (silly thing) each
% number is in separate parentheses preceded by authors.
% As of version 7.5, notes with textual (numerical) citations are outside the
% parentheses, so they are really part of the main text.
%
% The temporary command |\@citeb| takes on the value of each of the keys in
% turn;
% |\@citea| is prepended to a production and forms the separator between multiple citations,
% initially set to |\@empty|,
% becoming |\NAT@sep| plus line-break suppression afterwards.
% The |\@firstofone| macro removes any leading blanks in
% |\@citeb|, making |\cite{key1, key2}| possible. If |\b@|\emph{key} is
% not defined (as on the first run, for example), a warning is printed, and
% a question mark inserted. Finally, the decoded label text is placed into
% an |\hbox| to prevent it from being split.
%
% As of version 6.0, the numerical label text is to be found in |\NAT@num|,
% whereas previously it was the entire label, |\b@|\emph{key}.
%
% Note that here, and in later coding, internal names beginning with
% |\@cite..| are employed; these names are used in the original \LaTeX{}
% coding for the same functions. Therefore, if there are other packages
% that have name conflicts with \thestyle, they will also have conflicts with
% standard \LaTeX\ too.
%
% The value of |\NAT@ctype| controls whether number (0), author (1), year (2), or
% cite alias (3) is output by this macro.
%
% For compatibility with the \texttt{chapterbib} package of Donald Arseneau,
% add |\@extra@b@citeb| to the cite key; this contains the number of the
% included file in order to distinguish the same citation in separate files
% which then belong to different bibliography listings.
%
% The list of citation keys is in |#3|; this is sorted by |\NAT@sort@cites|
% and returned in |\NAT@cite@list|. If sorting is turned off, this list is
% the same as the input. If compression of numerical lists is active
% (|NAT@cmprs|=1) only the parenthetical output is affected.
%
% ^^A === Note (PWD): remove the following comment by AO from the printed output.
% ^^A Note (AO): an arguable misfeature of |\NAT@citexnum| is that it resists the user reordering
% ^^A the references: if the first citation to several references occurs within
% ^^A the argument of |\NAT@citexnum|, and if |\NAT@sort| is turned on, then
% ^^A the numbering of the references involved will not change even if their order
% ^^A is changed in the argument of the macro. The procedure |\NAT@citex| works likewise.

% The author--year version of |\@citex| is now defined. It wants the authors
% and year for each decoded label text to be separated into |\NAT@nm| and
% |\NAT@date|. This is done by the routine |\NAT@parse|. The names of the
% authors in the previous key are stored in |\NAT@last@nm|, and if that is the
% same as the current names, it is not printed again. The output citation text
% is not put into an |\hbox| since line division may occur within the
% author--year citation. The output is formatted differently for parenthetical
% (|\NAT@swa| \meta{true}) and textual (|\NAT@swa| \meta{false}) cases.
%
% The citation keys are in |#3|; these are sorted by |\NAT@sort@cites| and
% stored in |\NAT@cite@list|. If sorting is turned off, this list is the same
% as the original one.
%
% |\NAT@nm| will contain either |\NAT@name| or |\NAT@all@names| depending
% on the state of |\ifNAT@full|.
%
% With the option \texttt{longnamesfirst}, the flag |\ifNAT@longnames| is
% set; this makes the first citation of any reference use the long list of
% names. The flag |\bv@|\meta{key} is defined after the first citation so
% that short lists are used afterwards.
%
% When the year (|\NAT@date|) is empty, no year is printed, nor is the
% preceding punctuation there; for textual citations, the brackets are also
% suppressed. This is to allow to citations with a code designation without a
% year.

% \changes{8.3}{2008 Sep 23}{Fix for better spacing and separations with superscripts}
% We introduce |\NAT@spacechar|, which takes the place of the space character in all
% productions. Note that the macro |\NAT@space| is variable: it is the space character
% except for superscript citations, where it becomes |\relax|. This is to suppress
% spacing between superscripted citations.
%
% The macro |\NAT@separator| is the commonly employed separator between citations.
%
% The procedures |\NAT@reset@citea|, |\NAT@def@citea|, and |\NAT@def@citea@close|
% manage the |\@citea| macro for |\NAT@citex|,
% while |\NAT@def@citea@box| acts only for |\NAT@citexnum| in textual mode.
% Any assignment to |\@citea| is done by one of these procedures.
%
% Note that |\NAT@def@citea@box| uses the fixed |\NAT@spacechar|; this allows
% a space to appear between multiple superscripted citations that appear with the author
% names, whereas multiple superscripts (either for repeated authors or no authors)
% have no space between them.
%
% And |\NAT@def@citea| sets the variable |\NAT@space| between citations, while
%  |\NAT@def@citea@space| uses the fixed space. This is employed with |\citet|
%  in numerical mode, for author, year, alias only. It makes a difference for
%  superscripts, allowing space to appear between such multiples.
%
% An extension to \thestyle\ could change these procedures to effect more sophisticated
% behaviour of the punctuation between textual citations.

% \changes{6.5}{1997 Jan 30}{Add \texttt{showkeys} coding for \cs{@citex}}
% Since |\citep|, |\citet|, and |\citealt| are all ultimately defined in
% terms of the |\@citex| command, the best way to get the \texttt{showkeys}
% package to handle these is to let it accommodate only |\@citex|. David
% Carlisle has allowed for \thestyle, but only for |\cite| with variable number
% of arguments, |\citeauthor|, |\citefullauthor|, and |\citeyear|. Add the
% necessary coding at the beginning, after we know if \texttt{showkeys}
% has been loaded or not, and |\@citex| has its final definition.
%
% \changes{6.6}{1997 May 27}{Allow \texttt{notcite} option with
%    \texttt{showkeys} package; turn off special coding}
% Paradoxically, with version~6.6 it is necessary to remove the special coding
% in \texttt{showkeys} for \thestyle. Now all |\cite..| commands are defined in
% terms of |\@citex|, so that is sufficient, and the special coding is now
% incorrect. This means resetting special coding for |\citeauthor|,
% |\citefullauthor|, |\citeyear|. Alternatively, define |\HAR@checkdef|
% which then also skips special \thestyle\ coding. It is just a question of
% which package is loaded first.
%
% There is no point asking Carlisle to add |\@citex| to \texttt{showkeys}
% because \thestyle\ fixes this macro with |\begin{document}|; thus
% \texttt{showkeys} would have to be loaded \emph{after} \thestyle. By
% including the recoding of |\@citex| here, it is not dependent on the order of
% the two packages.

% because it only tested if the package was loaded, not if its coding was active.

% \changes{8.2}{2008 Jul 01}{(AO) Assign \cs{NAT@ctype} with \cs{let} \cs{z@}: allow for tighter \cs{ifnum} comparisons.}
% Textual citations are made with the |\citet| command, which has a starred
% form for full authors, and may have one or two optional arguments for notes.
%
% This command is equivalent to the older syntex |\cite|\marg{key} without
% optional arguments, at least in author--year mode. In numerical mode,
% it prints the authors and then the numerical reference, whereas |\cite|
% will only print the number. This simplifies the switching between the two
% modes with minimal changes in text. One wants to replace ``as shown by Jones
% et~al.\ (1990)'' with ``as shown by Jones et~al.\ [21]''; with |\cite|,
% one would get ``as shown by [21]''.
%
% This is such a practical idea, that I have decided to make it the standard
% means of textual citing. It now even allows optional notes in textual cites,
% something that I have been asked to provide, and which is impossible under
% the old syntex with |\cite|.
%
% Note that the flag |\ifNAT@swa| determines if the citation is textual or
% parenthetical, and |\ifNAT@full| whether abbreviated or full author names
% are to be printed.
% The flag |\ifNAT@par| enables the opening and closing parentheses; this is
% used only to suppress these for |\citealt| below.
%
% The flag |\NAT@ctype| controls what |\@citex| actually outputs: author and
% year (0), author only (1), year only (2). (For numerical mode, 0 yields
% author [number].)
%
% All the citation commands are placed inside a group; they start
% with |\begingroup|, with the corresponding |\endgroup| added to
% the |\@cite| command. This localizes the flag settings so that cites may
% be contained with cites, as
% \begin{quote}
%    |\citep[cited in \citealp{xx}]{yy}|
% \end{quote}
% (Without the localization, the |\citealp| turns off the brackets before
%   |\citep| comes to an end.)

% \subsection{Writing the Entries to the Auxiliary File}
%
% \noindent(New to version 6.0.)
%
% The author--year information is transferred from the \btx{} database to
% the document via |\bibitem| commands in the |thebibliography|
% environment. Standard \LaTeX\ simply assigns a running number to these
% entries, and writes that number with the citation key to the auxiliary
% file. For author--year citations, the author list and year must be written
% somehow to the auxiliary file. The form for this is to be
% \begin{quote}
% |\bibcite|\marg{key}|{|\marg{num}\marg{year}\marg{short}\marg{long}|}|
% \end{quote}
% This is the same form as in standard \LaTeX, except that the second
% argument becomes a set of 4 items. Here \emph{num} is the sequential
% number that is to be used if a numerical style is selected, \emph{short}
% is the abbreviate author list (Jones et al.), \emph{long} the full author
% list.
%
% The author--year information is contained in the optional argument to
% |\bibitem|, but just how it is formatted depends on the system used. The
% native \thestyle\ syntax is
% \begin{quote}
% |\bibitem[|\emph{short}|(|\emph{year}|)|\emph{long}|]|\marg{key}
% \end{quote}
% while the \texttt{chicago} system is
% \begin{quote}
% |\bibitem[\protect\citeauthoryear|\marg{long}\marg{short}\marg{year}|]|%
%   \marg{key}
% \end{quote}

% \texttt{apalike} syntax. When |\NAT@ifcmd| is invoked, it adds
% |(@)(@)\@nil| in order to provide the full template of |\NAT@bare|; if the
% argument itself contains no text in parentheses (not \thestyle{}
% syntax) then |#2| will be |@|; otherwise, |#4| catches the extra
% parentheses.
%
% Using |(@)| instead of the earlier |()| (pre~7.0) allows empty years to be

% We provide a facility for handling the |\bibfield| markup in the .bbl file
% (that markup is generated by custom-bib styles that enable the \texttt{bibfield} guard code).
% The default semantics is to remember the content of the second argument so that it
% can be compared to the next instance of this class of |\bibfield| command.
% (In the case where references are being merged, that is, if |\NAT@merge| \(> 1\),
% and the present bib entry's key has been starred (*)).
%
% The outcome of comparing, say, the author field, is to execute one of two procedures,
% |\@bib@Xauthor| or |\@bib@Yauthor| with the content as the argument.
%
% If no special features have been enabled, these two procedures just |\relax| out, and the
% content is processed as usual.
%
% And if |elide| semantics are turned off, we do |\@secondoftwo|, which is the custom-bib default.
%
% Note that we take special measures when constructing the replacement part of the \TeX\
% macro |\@tempa| (this will be remembered as the effective value of the field).
% If a |\Doi| markup command is encountered, we wish to ignore its first argument
% (which will be unique to the particular reference).
%
% We also define here the utility |\bibinfo| markup command of custom-bib
% (this markup is enabled by the \texttt{bibinfo} guard code).
% The procedure is a straightforward dispatcher to a macro whose name is
% based on the first argument to |\bibinfo|. For instance, |\bibinfo| |{foo}|
% will execute a procedure named |\bibinfo@X@foo|.
% If that name is undefined, the second argument of |\bibinfo| is simply expanded as is.

% We now implement a scheme (just one out of many possible ones) for eliding repeated fields.
%
% If the author field matches, then that portion is elided, and if
% in addition the journal field matches, that portion is also elided.
% If the journal field matches and the author field does not,
% then the journal is replaced with \textit{ibid.}
%
% How it works:
% when the journal is processed by |\bibfield|, one of three possibilities will be at hand:
% \begin{enumerate}
% \item
%   (the \texttt{journal} does not match)
%   Here, the procedure |\@bib@Yjournal| is executed, but this control sequence name is undefined,
%   so the second argument is expanded in place.
% \item
%   (\texttt{journal} matchs but \texttt{author} does not)
%   Here, |\bibinfo@X@journal| is set to |\@bib@Z@journal|, and the latter has its
%   default meaning:
%   the second argument of |\bibinfo| is replaced by \textit{ibid.},
% \item
%   (The \texttt{journal} matches and \texttt{author} also matches)
%   In this case, |\bibinfo@X@journal| will be the same as |\@bib@Z@journal|,
%   which has been set to |\@gobble|,
%   so the second argument of |\bibinfo| is replaced by nothing.
% \end{enumerate}
%
% Adopters of \thestyle\ have the option of creating their own scheme
% and can even remove the present scheme by doing
% |\let| |\@bib@Xauthor| |\@undefined| and |\let| |\@bib@Xjournal| |\@undefined|.

% \changes{8.3}{2008 Aug 28}{Redo the \texttt{babel} accommodations}
% The \texttt{babel} bundle redefines several internal commands in order to
% handle special active characters required by some languages.
% The purpose of these redefinitions is to allow special active characters
% to appear in the citation keys; one good example is the colon which
% becomes active with the \texttt{french} option.
% The redefined commands are: |\@bibitem|, |\nocite|, |\bibcite|, and |\@citex|.
% The first is not used at all by \thestyle, which uses only |\@lbibitem| instead.
%
% But \texttt{babel} does special things for \thestyle: the |\bibcite| definition is left
% unchanged, and |\@citex| is changed to account for the different syntax under
% \thestyle. However, the way \texttt{babel} alters the \thestyle\ |\@citex|
% relies on \thestyle\ doing the same thing; this is to make the order of loading the
% packages unimportant. It is rather confusing situation.
%
% As of version~8.3 of \thestyle, we do things better. The necessary switches
% |\@safe@activestrue| and |\@safe@activesfalse| are put around all expansions
% of the citation keys, making the \thestyle\ commands immediately compatible
% with \texttt{babel}; no redefinitions are necessary. However, since \texttt{babel}
% (at least up to version 3.8l of 2008/03/16) redefines |\@citex| in a way that
% relies on \thestyle\ having already done it too (more precisely, it relies
% on \thestyle\ having already defined |\org@@citex| as the original
% definition) this step must be preserved in \thestyle. It does no harm.
%
% It is also necessary to define dummy |\@safe@actives...| in case \texttt{babel}
% is not included. Do this when \thestyle\ is loaded, not at |\begin{doc}|;
% \texttt{babel} overwrites with |\def| so order with \thestyle\ is not important;
% however, \texttt{chapterbib} issues |\nocite{*}| when loaded, and this causes
% problems if these are not already defined.

% \subsection{Sorting, Compressing, and Merging of Numbers}
% The \texttt{cite} and (obsolete) \texttt{citesort} packages by Donald
% Arseneau provide the coding for printing multiple citation numbers in
% ascending order, and with a range where applicable. That is, if the
% normal result of |\cite{..}| with several keys were [5, 3, 8, 4], the new
% result would be [3--5, 8].
%
% Since \texttt{cite.sty} totally reimplements the citation commands (as
% does \thestyle) it is not possible to make the two compatible. Instead, I
% have removed the necessary coding from \texttt{cite.sty}, converted it to
% \thestyle\ format, and added it here.
%
% Originally I borrowed the coding from the \texttt{cite.sty} package, but for
% version~6.6, I have adapted the coding so that it orders the citation keys
% according to the sequence in the reference list. This now works for both
% numerical and author--year modes. The sorting is activated by the options
% \texttt{sort} and \texttt{sort\&compress}.

%
% With package option |merge| in effect,
% the |\NAT@star@cite| procedure determines if the optional * character
% has been prepended to the citation key, and strips it.
% (If so, we define a macro that later (in |thebibliography|) flags this fact,
% allowing us to merge that reference back with the previous reference, under
% a single number.)
% The citation key is then appended to |\NAT@cite@list|.
%
% If |\NAT@merge|\({}=1\), the only processing done:
% the * is recognized as part of the |merge| syntax.
%
% \textbf{Caveat:} the citation key is chosen by the user, and there is no rule saying
% that the * character must not appear in the key. So, if the user has chosen a key
% that begins with the * character, she will get unexpected results
% (undefined citation, for one).
% The best we can do for her is allow the user to turn off this processing step,
% which they will want to do if they are being confounded: remove the |merge| package option.
%
% A problem arises when keys are being sorted, because a key marked with a * could conceivably
% move away from the key it was intended to be merged with.
% The solution is for the user to proceed by deliberate steps:
% first, select all the references and citations with sorting turned off |\NAT@sort|${}=0$,
% then, second, turn on sorting and merge together.
%
% \changes{8.2}{2008 Jul 13}{(AO) Allow optional arguments preceding cite key.}
% A second syntactical extension provided by \thestyle\ pertains to the key itself:
% within the argument of \verb+\cite+, a cite key may be preceded by two optional arguements, e.g.,
% \verb+\cite[+\emph{pre}\verb+]+\verb+[+\emph{post}\verb+]{+\emph{key}\verb+}+,
% where \emph{pre} represents text to be prepended to the reference (\verb+\bibitem+ content),
% with \emph{post} appended thereto.
%
% Thus it is possible for the user to mark up the document:
% \begin{verbatim}
% text \cite{*[{See, e.g., }][ for a facile explanation]ablebaker}
% \end{verbatim}
% The above example illustrates the use of the star-form and both optional arguments.
%
% \textbf{Caveat:} Because the comma (,) character is part of the syntax of \verb+\cite+,
% and because the bracket delimiters ([]) are not first-class delimiters in the eyes of \TeX,
% you must enclose the optional argument in braces (\verb+{}+) if a comma is present in the
% argument (that goes for brackets, too, of course).
%
% The five procedures defined here are solely for the purpose of parsing the star (*) and
% the two optional arguments, followed by the usual cite key.

% This feature is not provided for with \LaTeX~2.09. It does exist in the

% for no sorting; 1 for sorting; compression (numerical mode only) is

% The macro |\NAT@sort@cites@| places the reordered list of citation keys (the

%
% A sorted list of the citation numbers (|\NAT@num@list|) is made up following

% |\NAT@cite@list| in the same order. If there are any non-numerical values of
% |\NAT@num|, these are added to |\NAT@nonsort@list|, which is appended at the
% end to the main list. Finally, the trailing comma is removed with
% |\NAT@xcom|.
%
% Algorithm note (AO): aside from an optimization for inserting a trailing key,
